Chapter 168 Liao Zhai: Heroine 3
Chapter 168 Liao Zhai: Heroine 3
In the city, just as Lin Qitong had buried his daughter, when he returned to the mansion, Lord Hou greeted him with an attack.
Originally, Lin Qitong was dependent on Lord Hou, colluded with each other, and did countless evil things.Now Xu Dahu has reported to the imperial court that they have embezzled the military pay, relying on the power of the two, they can be suppressed, but although Xu Dahu is dead, the account books of the whistleblower have not been found, it is always a hidden danger.Seeing that Lin Qitong still couldn't resolve the matter completely, Lord Hou decided to shift the blame.
As soon as Lin Qitong saw the momentum of the fight, and saw that Hou Ye disregarded his past friendship and blamed him, he planned to kill him.He also raised a group of people under his command, but when he gave an order, all these people turned against him.
Lin Qitong was furious, but fortunately he knew kung fu, so he managed to escape.
It's just that his and his daughter Lin Yuefu's lives are connected together, Lin Yuefu is dead, and he is not far from death.In the past two days, I have felt a throbbing pain in my heart, and I was almost stabbed to death by a sword during the fight just now.He struggled to escape from the city, galloped on horseback, pursued by the pursuers, and shot arrows again and again.In the end, he got an arrow in his back and fell down the hillside.
How do you know that in this way, it was Gongsun Erniang who met her.
Before, Gongsun Erniang was knocked off the cliff by the ghost mother, she survived by luck, and met the five poisons.Wudu had a grudge against the ghost mother, so Erniang asked Wudu to teach her to practice Wudu kung fu, so as to seek revenge from the ghost mother.The Five Poisons Kung Fu is a poisonous kung fu, fighting poison with poison, it is very difficult to practice, and the process of practicing is also very painful, but Erniang endured it.
Gongsun Erniang thought that they were once a husband and wife, and they rescued each other.When Lin Qitong woke up, his heart skipped a beat, expressing guilt and remorse, Erniang was finally fooled and took out the Resurrection Pill to heal him.Unexpectedly, Lin Qitong took advantage of her unpreparedness to attack her suddenly, not only stabbed her with a sword, but also snatched the soul-returning pill.
After Lin Qitong ate the Resurrection Pill, he immediately became immortal, and went straight back to the city to kill the Houfu.
Lin Qitong has an immortal body at this time, so he is not afraid of being injured, because his body will quickly recover after being injured, this is the reason for his immortal body.In fact, the main effect of the Resurrection Pill is as the name suggests, which is to revive the soul, but Lin Qitong swallowed the Fox Demon's Resurrection Pill by himself, making him neither human nor demon, but instead possessed an immortal body.This immortal body is only because the Huanhun Pill has the power of Gongsun Erniang's 500 years of cultivation, it will not get sick, and it can heal quickly from injuries.
Because he hated Master Hou and took him as the blame, Lin Qitong relied on his immortality to bloodbath the Hou family.
"Xu Mu'e?" How could he know that on the way to the Hou's mansion, Lin Qitong met Xu Mu'e who was holding the demon-slaying sword first.
In the original play, Xu Mu'e arrived in Wumei Town. Because Fang Wuzheng was dead and only his old mother was by her side, she was bent on revenge.During the seclusion, the relationship with Gu Xiangru deepened, and there was another night of drunkenness, love and hatred intertwined, and finally decided to take revenge.But that kind of choice is probably because Gu Xiangru's words and deeds only love Lin Yuefu alone. After embracing each other and waking up overnight, Gu Xiangru opened his mouth to apologize, saying that it was because of being drunk. Breaking through, she gave up her love, chose revenge, chose to walk alone, and slay demons and demons.
Now it is Fang Wuzhen who is alive, not only the hatred is shared by more people, but also more people rely on and warm.
Especially for Lin Yuefu's resurrection, even if Xu Mu'e had admiration for Gu Xiangru, she could only bury it in her heart.
When Lord Hou found out where they were hiding, he sent someone to arrest them, trying to find out where the ledger was, but Xu Mu'e and Fang Wuzhen jointly resisted, and Lord Hou's plan failed.At this moment, Xu Mu'e received another mysterious letter, stating that if she wanted to seek revenge on Lin Qitong, she should go to the city immediately.
This letter was sent by Tao Shuo in vain.
At this moment Xu Mu'e has settled her mother down, and Fang Wuzheng came to the city and stopped Lin Qitong.
Lin Qitong looked relaxed, firstly, he was not afraid of the Demon Slayer Sword, and secondly, he is now immortal, so how can Xu Mu'e stand against him?
But at this moment, a white shadow flashed by very quickly, Lin Qitong let out a cry, and felt something come out of his mouth, and when he took a closer look, the golden bead had fallen into the hands of a strange man .Lin Qitong was suddenly shocked and angry: "My Resurrection Pill!"
Tao Shuobai played with the bead in his hand, feeling that it was indeed a bit magical, and said to Xu Mu'e, "Now that Lin Qitong has lost his immortal body, I will take this Resurrection Pill."
According to the development in the original play, although the Resurrection Pill belonged to Gongsun Erniang, in the end it resurrected Lin Yuefu.Now he has resurrected Lin Yuefu.
Xu Mu'e didn't speak, but she didn't stop her either.One is the disparity in strength, and the other is because she knows that Lin Yuefu was resurrected by this person, and the Resurrection Pill belongs to Gongsun Erniang, and Lin Yuefu is Erniang's daughter.From this point of view, Xu is destined in the dark.
"Give it back to me!" How could Lin Qitong accept such a change, and attacked Tao Shuobai crazily.However, his movement was not noticed by the other party.
Tao Shuobai didn't linger, just like when he came, he left without a trace.
Xu Mu'e drew out his sword, and he and Fang Wushi stood in front of each other: "Lin Qitong, you bastard! I'm going to kill you today to avenge my father!"
"Take your life!" Fang Wuzhen thought of Xu Dahu who raised and taught him since he was a child, his eyes were flushed, and hatred was burning.
Lin Qitong was no match for the two of them, he tried his best to hold on for a while, but was finally beheaded by Xu Mue's sword.
"And Lord Hou!" Xu Mu'e said.
"Let's go!" Fang Wugui supported her.
Lifting Lin Qitong's head, the two rushed to the Hou's mansion, and directly threw Lin Qitong's head into the arms of the enjoying Lord Hou.Hou Ye was so frightened that his face changed drastically and he fell to the ground. While shouting to arrest the assassin, he desperately tried to wipe off the blood stains on his body, but unexpectedly, more and more blood stains were wiped off.
Xu Mu'e and Fang Wuzhen fought all the way in, and they were inevitably injured, but they were not afraid.In the end, Fang Wuzhen held him back, and Xu Mu'e stepped forward to cut off Lord Hou's head.One of the two grabbed the head of Lord Hou, the other grabbed the head of Lin Qitong, rushed out of the Hou's mansion, hung their heads on the city gate, and galloped away.
The two did not return to Wumei Town, but went to hide in the forest.
Lin Qitong was framed by Lord Hou for a crime and became a wanted criminal. It didn't matter if he killed him, but Lord Hou was different. Once Lord Hou died, the court would definitely send someone to take care of it.Of course Xu Mu'e didn't want her father to die unjustly, but she also knew that she should not show her face easily, the officialdom was dark, and after experiencing family changes, she no longer had much trust in the officialdom.She negotiated with Fang Wuyu, and when the time came, they would send the ledger to the prime minister, and they would not be able to control how the prime minister would deal with it.
The two found a cave to live in.
Fang Wuyu filled the skin bag with clean water, washed the wound by the stream, and then came back.As soon as she came back, she saw Xu Mu'e's clothes were half off, and there was a deep knife wound on her fair arm.Fang Wuzhen hurriedly looked away, thought for a while, and walked over again: "Mu'e, it's not convenient for you to bandage yourself, let me do it."
It's true that Xu Mu'e didn't have a smooth time, besides, she grew up with Fang Wushi's childhood sweetheart, and they couldn't be more familiar, so she didn't hold back when she heard the words: "Then I'll trouble you."
Seeing her like this, Fang Wuzhen just sighed and smiled.
He has a heart full of admiration for Mu'e, but Mu'e only regards him as a brother, and has never thought of the difference between men and women. Mu'e rarely shows shyness and reserve in girls, and it is because of Gu Xiangru that she shows it occasionally. reason.Fang Wuzhen wanted to speak out his heart several times, but the timing was not right now, Mu E was so focused on avenging her father, how could she easily talk about her children's affair.Even he himself is the same, he has to take revenge first before he can say anything else.
"Mu'e, our vengeance has been avenged, what are your plans?" Fang Wuzhen asked.
Xu Mu'e said: "There is one more person to deal with, and I want to eliminate the ghost mother! The ghost mother has always wanted to destroy the demon-slaying sword, and she is destined to be at odds with me. Instead of preparing for a disaster that will come at an unknown time, it is better to strike first."
Fang Wuyu naturally knew that what she said was reasonable, but he was just worried: "Ghost mother is not easy to deal with."
"There is me." Gongsun Erniang suddenly appeared, but her expression was not good.She was injured by Lin Qitong's surprise attack earlier, and she lost the Resurrection Pill, plus she practiced the Five Poisons Kungfu, so it's no wonder.
"Second Mother!"
"You guys did a good job." Erniang Gongsun already knew about the events in the city, and she was completely calm about Lin Qitong's ending.She loved, resented, hated that man, and finally let go of him.Lin Qitong was no longer the person she once liked.
"Er Niang, the ghost mother is so powerful, even if I have the demon-slaying sword, I'm afraid..." Xu Mu'e didn't want others to destroy her own prestige, but she had self-knowledge. Ordinary monsters are nothing. So easy to deal with.
"I will try to restrain her, and then you can use the Demon Slayer Sword." Gongsun Erniang said.
"I'll go too!" Fang Wuyu couldn't let Xu Mu'e take the risk alone no matter what.
The three of them discussed it, and after two or three days when the wound was healed, they found the Ghost Mother's Cave.
Unlike in the original drama, Lin Qitong didn't come to hurt Gongsun Erniang again, but Fang Wushi was more helpful.Gongsun Erniang used the Five Poisons Technique, unexpectedly slapped the ghost mother's palm during the fight, the ghost mother didn't notice, and caught it with the palm, and the poison spread from the palm to the whole body in an instant.
The ghost mother realized that something was wrong and immediately wanted to escape, but how could Erniang allow her to escape?There was also a demon-slaying sword, so covetously, that the ghost mother had no way to escape, and with a scream, her body was destroyed by the poison, leaving only her soul.
The primordial spirit is so fragile, the ghost mother immediately rushed towards the nearest Fang Wushi, wanting to take it away.
"Be careful!" Xu Mu'e was shocked, but it was too late.
How could Fang Wuzhen's primordial spirit be comparable to that of a thousand-year-old fox demon? He was squeezed out of his body almost instantly.
"Mu'e! The demon-slaying sword stabs the innocent body!" Gongsun Erniang shouted at the right time.
Xu Mu'e listened to the order, and sacrificed the demon-slaying sword in his hand, and sent it forward, subconsciously avoided the vital point, and stabbed the side of the waist.For humans, this injury is not fatal, but it is completely different for the ghost mother possessing it. After all, this body is not an immortal body. The demon-slaying sword kills all monsters, and the ghost mother primordial spirit is forced out in an instant , and the injury is not light.
This time without Gongsun Erniang's reminder, Xu Mu'e followed up with a few more sword strikes, and finally stabbed the ghost mother Yuanshen.The ghost mother's face was distorted, unwilling to be resentful, but finally her soul collapsed with a scream and disappeared into the world.
"No shame, go back!" Gongsun Erniang shouted.
Fang Wuzhen pounced forward and returned to his physical body. He immediately felt pain in his side, which was the one stabbed by the demon-slaying sword earlier.
"No shame, how are you?" Xu Mu'e hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Gongsun Erniang checked it out, and said with a relieved smile: "Good luck, this injury is not serious, as long as it is taken care of properly."
In the end, Xu Mu'e and Fang Wuzhen still did not return to Wumei Town, because they were worried that the court would send people to investigate the case of Lord Hou, and they were afraid that people in Wumei Town, especially the mother and son of the Gu family, would be implicated, so they took Xu's mother out and planned to leave here. Find another place to live.
"Aunt Xu, Brother Fang, Mu E." Gu Xiangru chased out from the house: "I know you are afraid that we will be implicated, but it is not easy to leave your hometown. Besides, the people from the imperial court came here, I am afraid it is just a formality. I see you You don’t need to go far away, our village is surrounded by mountains, and I often go to the mountains to collect herbs, and the roads are very familiar. There is a flat area on the mountain, where you can cultivate a little food. You might as well live in seclusion in the mountains for a while, Brother Fang and Mu E Knowing martial arts, hunting is definitely no problem. Wouldn't it be good to move down the mountain after this period of time?"
Xu's mother was heartbroken.
Fang Wuzhen looked at Xu Mu'e and said, "Mu'e, Doctor Gu's words are also reasonable. Besides, Mrs. Xu's body may not be able to withstand the hardships of the long journey."
"...Alright, let's stay temporarily in the mountains." Xu Mu'e nodded.
Since it was to avoid disaster, it could not be announced to the outside world. Gu Xiangru said to the outside world that he went to the mountains to gather medicine, helped the three of the Xu family find a place, cut wood to build a house, and gave some daily necessities and other things.Gu Xiangru was not at home, so the family relied entirely on Lin Yuefu to help Gu's mother.
Lin Yuefu and Gu Xiangru were married, and the marriage was not luxurious, but it was very lively. All the people in the village came to drink wedding wine and bless the couple.Lin Yuefu used to keep her fingers clean, but now she is learning to cook and clean. Her embroidery work is very outstanding. She even knows how to read and write. She can have a good conversation with Gu Xiangru and learn to recognize Medicinal materials, and occasionally help with simple medicinal herbs.
Naturally, it is not so easy to do these things, Lin Yuefu is not ignorant of hard work, but her life now is like living, no matter how hard or tiring she is, she is willing to do so.
The three of the Xu family settled down in the mountains, and the imperial court sent imperial envoys to investigate the case, but within half a month, the case was closed and they left.The three of Xu's family were used to the quietness of the mountains, so they did not move to the village.
On the contrary, Gongsun Erniang's vengeance was avenged, and the only daughter came back to life without being burdened by the curse. After finding a good home, she decided to stay away from the world and go up the mountain again to find Taoist Baimei.
Xu Mu'e also planned to go up the mountain to practice martial arts diligently, and the Demon Slayer Sword chose her. In today's troubled times, she should shoulder this responsibility, to slay demons and eliminate demons, and uphold justice.However, she still has a mother to take care of, how can she leave without care?
Fang Wushi's father was in the army and was stationed in the frontier all the year round, his mother died young and he had no relatives, so he was fostered in the Xu family since he was a child.This time Lord Hou and Lin Qitong framed him, not only killing Xu Dahu, but also protecting Fang's father, so Fang Wuzheng's only relatives are Xu's mother and daughter.
He had always admired Xu Mu'e, but when he realized that Mu'e wanted to go up the mountain to study with a teacher, he was really nervous. Later, seeing that she gave up her thoughts for the time being, he was relieved.
Xu's mother watched him grow up, how could he not know what was on his mind, and seeing him like this, she couldn't help telling him in private: "Your thoughts for Mu E can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and you are obsessed with the authorities. Now there are only three of us in our family. Personally, if you can make a marriage, your father will be happy too. No shame, you can't just hide your love in your heart, you have to speak it out, and she will know it and change the relationship between you. "
Xu's mother's words completely dispelled Fang Wujiang's remaining hesitation.
Xu Mu'e practiced sword every day, Fang Wuzhen knew where she was, and it was not difficult to find her.Watching from the side, he waited for Xu Mu'e to withdraw his sword before he called out: "Mu'e."
"What's the matter?" Xu Mu'e walked towards him.
Fang Wuyu took out the butterfly hairpin that he had cherished for a long time from his arms, and said with a smile: "Mu'e, do you still remember this? I originally wanted to give it to you, but you asked me to give it to the girl I like. Now, I still want to give it to you." For you, the girl I have always liked is you, Mu E, can you accept it?"
Xu Mu'e was completely shocked: "I, I never thought about it."
Indeed, in Xu Mu'e's heart, apart from parents, the closest people are innocent.They grew up together, mischievous together, innocent always protecting her, although they have two surnames, they are a family, so that she regards her as her best friend and most trustworthy elder brother, but she alone does not think about it. The meeting is a man entrusted for life.
This also has a lot to do with her personality. Originally, she has a straightforward personality and is quite heroic. She doesn't like female celebrities, but likes to wield knives and sticks.Growing up to this age, other girls like to dress up, pay attention to handsome men, and occasionally think about the future of their lives, but Xu Mu'e never thinks about these things, she is neatly dressed, she doesn't look like a girl, and the matter of getting married is even more important. is not interested.Later, she fell in love with Gu Xiangru, but it was a fruitless relationship. She didn't fight or grab, and she was the matchmaker's messenger...
Originally, she had decided that although she could not go up the mountain to learn from a teacher because she was serving her mother, she had the Demon Slaying Sword in her hands, and it was her responsibility to slay demons and demons.To do such things, the family is a burden, and she has decided not to marry for the rest of her life.
"No shame, you know the responsibility I bear, I won't marry." Xu Mu'e lowered her head after speaking, always feeling ashamed of him.
Fang Wuzhen was not surprised by her answer, but said: "Mu'e, I will never block what you want to do. Not only will I not block, but I will support you, because I understand you and I like you. Now you It doesn't matter if you don't accept me, I just want to tell you my heart, lest you still think of me as your elder brother. Mu'e, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about the rest. "
Xu Mu'e's eyes were slightly red, she clenched the Demon Slayer Sword in her hand, and remained silent.
When Fang Wuzhen put the hairpin in her palm, she didn't refuse any more.
Fang Wuzhen said: "Mu'e, I'm waiting for the day you are willing to wear it."
The plot came to an end, Tao Shuobai still lived in the city, because Ye Qi was learning from an uncle to cook the famous local duck blood vermicelli soup.
Speaking of Ye Qi's sudden desire to learn cooking, it was a surprise.
The two of them lived here for quite some time, and they usually saw each other when they came in and out, so it was rare for someone to ask about it.They said that they traveled together together, and they didn't say much about the specifics, but because of the temperament of the two people's clothes, it was rumored that there was a son of an aristocratic family with a powerful guard.
It's not surprising that outsiders guess like this, Tao Shuobai and Ye Qi both have good looks and good temperament, and their words and deeds are different from ordinary people, but Tao Shuobai is dressed in white and has no weapons, while Ye Qi is dressed in black and a half He wears his hair and always holds a sword.In the eyes of the world, the person who never leaves his sword is not a robber or a knight-errant, but a military commander at the highest level, so it is not groundless to guess Ye Qi as a bodyguard.
There is a food stall at the entrance of the alley where the two live, selling pancakes and duck blood vermicelli soup.His family's duck blood vermicelli soup tastes really good, and it is said that the craftsmanship has been passed down for two generations, so the business is very good.
That day, Tao Shuobai also sat down at the booth and ate a bowl on a whim.
The stall owner is an old couple with a young girl, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, comely and bright, and works quickly.Xu is that customers like Tao Shuobai are really rare, and perhaps knowing that he lives nearby can become a long-term customer, the girl asked him: "Young master, what do you think of this soup?"
"Okay." A simple word is enough.
This duck blood vermicelli soup is not a precious thing, it contains duck blood, duck liver, duck intestines, duck heart, duck gizzards, plus vermicelli, etc., but this soup is made from duck bones, and I don’t know what to do What, in short, the soup is elegant, fragrant and very tasty.
The girl smiled proudly: "I have eaten our duck blood soup, and I have never said it is bad."
Tao Shuobai suddenly saw Ye Qi stop the chopsticks, and asked strangely: "Why, it doesn't suit your appetite?"
Ye Qi just glanced at the girl, put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full."
Tao Shuobai unconsciously wanted to laugh, but also felt helpless, Ye Qi's temperament was really tolerable sometimes, he could clearly see those thoughts, and Ye Qi kept it hidden, and it was not easy for him to expose it.Perhaps, it was because she didn't want to expose it, so Ye Qi was awkward and cute.
Tao Shuobai considered whether to buy a photo stone to record this rare scene.
Of course, after this supper, Ye Qi didn't immediately have the desire to learn art, but every time he went in and out of the alley, the girl greeted him warmly, and once or twice out of ten times he wanted to sit down and eat a bowl of duck blood soup.
Once Ye Qi couldn't help but said: "How can the food on the street be clean, just eat it once. If you want to eat it, we can eat it at home."
So, Ye Qi started to learn how to make soup.
